Aspects relate to implementing multiplexing with a single carrier waveform. In some examples, a total bandwidth may be divided into a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs), each including a plurality of tones. Each of the BWPs may further be divided into two or more interlaces, where each interlace includes a respective number of interleaved tones. A base station may assign each of a plurality of UEs a respective set of one or more interlaces within at least one BWP for multiplexing communication with the base station.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the total bandwidth comprises a set of frequencies above 52.6 gigahertz.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein spacing between respective interleaved tones of each of the two or more interlaces varies between the two or more interlaces.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein spacing between respective interleaved tones of each of the interlaces is equal.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one bandwidth part associated with at least one of the sets of one or more interlaces comprises two or more contiguous bandwidth parts of the plurality of bandwidth parts.
14. The base station of claim 13, wherein spacing between respective interleaved tones of each of the two or more interlaces varies between the two or more interlaces.
15. The base station of claim 11, wherein spacing between respective interleaved tones of each of the interlaces is equal.
21. The base station of claim 20, wherein spacing between respective interleaved tones of each of the two or more interlaces varies between the two or more interlaces.
22. The base station of claim 18, wherein spacing between respective interleaved tones of each of the interlaces is equal.
27. The article of claim 26, wherein spacing between respective interleaved tones of each of the two or more interlaces varies between the two or more interlaces.
28. The article of claim 25, wherein spacing between respective interleaved tones of each of the interlaces is equal.
